Yes, it can but is not recommendable. The best option is to move the image to the server and just save the path

Yes, If you can store the image as Binary data. You will need to keep track of the format just store the extention as well so the end machine that displays it knows what it is. The other option is to convert the image to a base64 string and store that, LONGBLOB/LONGTEXT would be required as the string can be quite large. base64 images contain the image type so you just need to output the data and let the end machine handle it. HTML for example you just place the data in the src tag and the browser will handle the rest for you.

it's better to store the actual image files in a folder on the server and store a link to a specific image on that folder in the table column.
